I'm wondering about setups for using multiple sets of headphones from one source simultaneously.
Silent disco / silent cinema type thing.

I assume there'd be a limit on the number of Bluetooth devices, but I'm way out of my pay grade here, so what are the options?

Sennheiser have plenty of options on this front e.g. https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/rs-175

Or even use your own headphones: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/wireless-tv-earphone-...

Thank you. But as far as I can see, neither of those are for multiple headphones from a single source

Regarding the second device it states: "You can simultaneously use up to 4 paired RR Flex clip-on receivers"

Regarding the first I found this table:



So it seems like a max of two headphones which is probably a bit restrictive. They sell additional headphones without the transmitter and also the Flex receivers on their own.

I've got one of these. It receives a bluetooth signal (or through a cable with a 3.5mm jack), then it transmits that signal to up three bluetooth devices. I'm using it with bluetooth speakers in a couple of rooms, but it would also work for bluetooth headphones.

There does not appear to be any degradation in sound quality, though my bluetooth speakers are only cheap ones. The biggest limitation seems to be that you need the bluetooth source device (my phone) to stay within a few metres of it. The speakers work fine being in the next room.

Thank you.

I need more than 3 outputs, sadly. More like 10.
